Unattended noise logging for planning and compliance

A new noise logger is available for companies setting up operations where noise might be an issue and which can be used to demonstrate compliance to noise standards.

Brüel & Kjær has released a new Noise Logger that enables users to confidently take unattended noise level measurements 24 hours a day. The Noise Logger cost-effectively empowers organisations to demonstrate noise level compliance, resolve noise complaint investigations and gain approval for a planned change or an operational licence.

Noise Logger customers can dependably obtain accurate data and keep informed about what’s happening while they’re off site. The system allows users to view real-time noise data, transfer information to the cloud, check equipment and manage measurements during a survey. Customers can assess online data daily and end their survey as soon as they have the measurements required. Data can be used for a variety of post-processing activities including reporting representative noise levels or regulatory compliance.

The logger sets up in minutes for efficient use out of the box. For an optimal user experience, its self-contained, single-unit system includes a solar panel for extended, continuous operation during good weather, a weather-resistant outdoor microphone and a corrosion-proof, integrated microphone mount.

The flexible Noise Logger comes with a Type 2250 sound level meter, software and accessories including full statistics, 1/3-octave band analysis, audio recording with event triggering and a memory card. Email alerts can notify when pre-set noise levels are exceeded or the internal battery runs low. Remote communication and stand-alone operation versions are available.

“Spending days or weeks on site taking measurements isn’t feasible. We’re delighted to offer a comprehensive noise logger that cost-effectively lets our customers continuously measure noise levels without worrying about what’s occurring when they’re not on site.”
